Story: Cameron & Rylan
“I love you, too, angel.”
Issa dragged him to the elevators, Suzy next to him, jumping up and down in excitement.
“I love weddings and you two, well, you are the cutest couple. Thank you for inviting me.”
Rylan reached for Suzy’s hand, giving it a squeeze, before he hugged Issa from behind. “Thank you for being here. I couldn’t get married without you two and the trio here.”
“You know Eric hates that?”
“Yeah, but he loves Cameron and I’m with Cameron so he smiles and shakes his head. He’ll get used to it. Besides, I can see the smile he tries to hide when I say it. They are always together; football, living in the same house, they even have most of their classes together.”
As Issa opened the door to their room, Rylan’s nerves flared. And that meant his mind questioned every decision and every motive behind the last few weeks. He paced the small room, wondering if he was what Cameron wanted. They were only twenty-one and despite Cameron being demi, what if he changed his mind later?
It wasn’t until Issa stopped his movements by placing her hands on his shoulders, giving him a quick shake, that he focused back on the present.
“Stop freaking out. I know you, you are thinking about things not even in the realm of logical. You know he loves you, anyone can see it every time he looks at you. Hell, he’d give you the moon if it was obtainable. Whatever doubts you have he can’t love you or will fall out of love with you, you don’t have to worry.”
Rylan cleared his throat several times before he asked, “How do you know this?”
Issa pulled him into a hug and he could feel Suzy join in. He smiled at his friends, loving them a little more at that moment.
When Issa pulled back, she captured Rylan’s gaze in hers. “Because I’ve seen you throughout the years. You work too hard and despite how limited your time is, you’ve been there for me throughout my many breakups and broken hearts with a pint of ice cream and all the gore related movies you got your hands on because you understood I needed that. You welcomed Suzy with a big hug the first time you met and whenever we need you, you don’t ask questions, you show up.
“But you don’t take care of yourself. You never think about yourself. Cameron is there making sure you eat, that you get enough sleep, and you’re happier with him. I love that you are with him.”
Rylan breathed out. “Oh, well, I was worried about that. That maybe you two thought I was rushing into this without thinking it through.”
“Oh, honey. Cameron’s feelings for you have been obvious since you two met.”
Rylan hugged both women, relaxing at Issa words. Instead of Issa getting sentimental, which wasn’t her style, she told him to strip.
“Suzy picked out your wedding outfits and I think they fit with where you’re getting married.”
Holding out a simplistic white button-down shirt and a pair of green and white print board shorts, Rylan smiled at the outfit.
“It’s perfect, Suzy, thank you.”
The next feverish minutes had Rylan changing in the bathroom as Issa and Suzy changed into their beautiful strapless white, blue, and green floral sundresses. They didn’t bother with shoes and after Suzy adjusted his collar and Issa snapped pictures on her phone; they headed downstairs to the beach where he was to get married.
When he spotted Cameron standing near the front of the aisle looking composed, a nervousness that reappeared on the walk toward the beach, settled.
Both Issa and Suzy kissed Rylan’s cheek before they took their seats.
Cameron smiled as he stood in front of Rylan, taking his hands. Rylan noticed he wore something similar to his own outfit, except his board shorts were blue and white with the same floral pattern on Rylan’s. The white of the shirt emphasized his caramel skin and his beautiful hazel eyes.
I can’t believe this lovely, sweet, and sexy-as-sin man will be mine. And I’ll be his.
“You’re so handsome,” Rylan blurted.
“So are you, angel. Are you ready to get married?”
Cameron’s face lit up with excitement as Rylan nodded.
During the ceremony, Rylan couldn’t take his eyes away from Cameron’s expressions; wavering between awe and love. His soft smile made Rylan’s heart race and his hazel eyes never left his own gaze. He felt both loved and impatient for the end of the ceremony. Cameron centered him with a quick squeeze of his hands and as Rylan glanced up, his smile widened.
Cameron, confident in their decision to get married, waited patiently with a smile on his face. But time slowed when they spoke of love and dedication for the rest of their lives and Rylan knew they would both keep their word to love and cherish. Cameron beamed at him, a smile so bright it brought tears to Rylan’s eyes as they were pronounced husband and husband.
After they signed their marriage license, Rylan turned toward Cameron.
